My only B*tch is that we have to wait a week or more for this thing when it's already done.


There's an actual release date on it now?  Was sort of hoping for a Tuesday release (today Feb. 1st) but I suppose it can wait.  I'm nearly done with my current character's playthrough in ME2 and about to start another in ME1.  So it'll be at least another week before I'm back to ME2 again anyway.

Well, not really a solid release date. I was hoping for today too because it would be a good excuse to replay the Suicide Mission (using Miranda, Tali, and Grunt) in a certain way because someone told me the "secret companion" had some unique dialogue about the Reapers depending on your ending choice. I said BS, but only one way to find out. From second-hand sources, it seems it will come out in "early" February, so I'm hoping for next week, but maybe not. I got to much college work anyway.

I can't view the results without voting, but the fact that it has only been viewed 6,051 times should be your first clue that it's not exactly a comprehensive study of the Mass Effect fanbase.

I'd also posit that the types  most drawn to such a poll would be the ones with some kind of grievance.  To the vast, vast majority of fans (including ones that don't post on this forum) you'll probably find that most people like the direction taken in ME2. It's certainly not a bone of contention on any of the non-ME-specific gaming forums i post on.

...
So when in these polls which are about ME 1 vs ME 2 is ME 2 winning, then its proof that ME 2 is better.
But sudenly, when there is over 2000 votes for armor for squadmates and not even 300 votes for cheap fanservice, then it proves nothing...

I give up on this subject and just hope that Bioware realized that not everybody wants comics bs in ME.

What? I have neither referenced nor conducted any sort of a poll.

I'm sorry that i don't put as much stock in your polling of a minute percentage of ME2 players as you do.

Re: "proper armors" . I like catsuit Miranda as much as anyone (which means more than a lot of you), but since her two basic sets of clothing cover that part quite well (no pun intended), I was one of those requesting "proper armor" for her.

This is just a personal preference, as I don't pretend to have a hard in-universe reason for why they should use armor (apart from the old explanation for hardsuits in the ME1 codex). You know, since the only time we are actually in a vacuum is when Normandy 1 is getting blown up. How do I know this? Because sound travels in all the other levels!!!! :P

AFAIK many election polls operate with simillar figures and those are taking more poeple into accout than just 2+ milions and yet they are still pretty much accurate and same goes with this forum ...I believe that this forum represents the whole spectrum of fans of the game from ME1 fans to ME2 fans including ME fans who like the ME universe as a whole so I would say it is pretty relevant poll...
If you believe that many don't care about it then it has as much credit as me saying otherwise thus making it irrelevant moot point...Babli on the other hand provided poll that you dismissed for no good reason... (the only exception is you being the Turian Councilor then you're off the hook)

I got nothing against the catsuits or those who want Miranda to run around like a bimbo in space. But to have the option to provide her armor for the sake of appearance alone is meaningful to a number of us since we cannot equip her or others with proper armor for missions. A lot of things don't make sense in ME2 and having the option to add even a cosmetic appearance of protection eases the annoyance/distraction some. It is pretty clear that ME2 squad members will not get proper headgear for certain enviroments, ever. I can only hope logic re-enters the universe in ME3.

LOL, Bioware staff was feeding us with bull**** that they have dedicated teams for DLC, ME2 PS3 port and ME3. And that nothing will be effected by spreading resources.

Now they failed to deliver MONTHLY DLC by 7 month, and all they can do are new costumes?



What a pile of crap. If developers (if Bioware didn't lie about dedicated team) could only color existing NPC into new colours in 7 month, then they need to fire those idiots.



But personally I think Bioware was just talking out of their ass about hard work on DLC. Funny how PS3 port failed to sale and they ****ed up with DLC.

No, election polls don't work like that.

I think you're thinking of "exit polls", and they frequently fail to match up with the results of the actual election poll. They also make an effort to ask a diverse range of voters, which can't be said for your friend's poll.

I love how there are people (you know who you are) complaining about the fact that others finally get the option to put Miranda in something resembling proper armor instead of BioWare giving her a third ****ty catsuit outfit to prance about in. What, two outfits weren't enough for you? You have to throw a tantrum and cry like babies because a portion of the fanbase (no matter how much of an "irritating minority" you may think they are) finally get something that appeals to them after a year of waiting?



Jebus. Sometimes I really wonder about this community.

Quit the wondering, start laughing. That is how I am staying sane in this idiotic world. And you wouldn't think of how goddarn stupid people can be even in university. All you can do is laugh.

As for the sane thing, I might be a little "off" compared to most people's definition of sane, but at least I do have proper common sense (by comparision at least).

Please show me where Bioware promised monthly DLC and this entire line of pendantic drivel might have some basis to be read -_-

It was never about resources being spread too thin, they do have dedicated teams for DLC, ME2 PS3 port and ME3.  The reason you haven't seen any new DLC in 7 months is because they wanted to get the PS3 version out the door.  So they could then sell this DLC to three markets instead of 2 markets.

Childish denial? His poll doesn't even make a distinction between "armour" and the "civilian" clothes worn by Miranda and Jack. That's how worthless it is.

All the poll really shows is that a lot of people like the idea of being able to customise their squad's look. To a lot of people that voted, i'm sure that simply means being able to change the pattern on Miranda's catsuit; not replacing it with generic armour.

It's certainly more impressive than your diction.

If you're seriously trying to dispute the fact that Miranda's new, generic armour is anything less than Bioware "catering to the desires of others" then you should probably find a more educative way to spend your time than calling the intelligence of random internet users into question.

It's clear when comparing the squad attire choices in both Mass Effect games, that the artists wanted to take a different approach with ME2. Style over practicality, you might say. Miranda's new generic armour goes against that. Ergo, it's pandering.


No offense, but if you want to play "pretty-in-combat" dress-up, maybe you could just buy some Barbie dolls and action figure weapons, and have the time of your life playing non-sensical firefights.

On a more serious note, you do get that most people are actually dissatisfied with BioWare's new "style above all sense" approach for Mass Effect 2, right?


^ This times 10,000,000!

Seriously... I don't get how anybody with a brain in their head can actually prefer this silly Michael Bay-esque approach that ME2 seemed to shift more towards. I really don't. How am I supposed to take anything seriously when the people making the game can't even do it?


really? and "michael bay-eque" approach? frankly i don't see how anyone in a brain could not like the more stylish and character-oriented outfits of me2, rather than the generic clone-suits of me1.

oh but of course the dullards like the simple choices...

Val Seleznyov is right - it is a case of bioware pandering to a few forum complainers, simply because they complained long enough, like spoiled children - when we could have got something different, perhaps more imaginative but no we get this instead: appeal to the minority once again.


Oh I'm sorry I was unaware of how wonderful spandex and cleaveage works as a defense against bullets. 

Oh wait.

THEY DON'T. You can't be stylish when you're as dead as a f***ing doorknob.

If people can't grasp the fact that in combat armor is generally preferable to skin, then they need to play different game. Mass Effect is a very realism-oriented game (those codex entries aren't just for show, they actually try to explain stuff), and so wearing basically a wetsuit with symbols on it is not realistic in any way, especially when those who are wearing it are soldiers and mercenaries.

The suits of ME1 might have looked the same, but it's ARMOR. I don't hear the USMC over in Afghanistan complain about how not stylish and unique their body armor is. Why? Because they like living. Armor is armor. Customization is great, and in the future of Mass Effect there is no reason armor cannot be personalized, but it's not what's being worn. It's who's wearing it.

Yes, it does. The first option is "Every team member gets an modular, customizable, armor like Shepards N7 in ME 2." I'm fairly certain people know what that means. 

You really like denying that tons of people want real armor for their squadmates, don't you? Either you're serious, and can't fathom how anybody wouldn't want to stare at Miranda's ass, or you're an articulate troll.

It'll be interesting to see what ideas they took from the feedback from this board. Hope the pack includes new appearances for new squad members. Garrus, Zero and Thane have had their's.

Did I not just cover this? Arguing about the details of the poll is pointless because by its very nature it is an unreliable source of information.

See Voluntary response bias - stattrek.com/AP-Statistics-2/Survey-Sampling-Bias.aspx

No matter how the poll is worded, what the choices are, or what option got the most votes, it will never be an accurate representation of what people think.

Stop arguing about polls and get back on topic.

Not gunna lie, I have to say I miss fighting over release dates and what not, in not all for the "armor for everyone" thing just saying. But everyones got their opinions and I'm cool with how this pack looks so far, can't wait for it, regardless.

No, it doesn't. Option three is: Same armor system that in ME 2, allies only have a default armor.

The fact that there is no option for a customisable variation of the ME2 system belies the poster's bias, just as surely as Samara's outfit belies her characterisation as a warrior monk.

Miranda's derriere has little to do with it. I happen to feel that her catsuit gives her a unique appearance that is true to her character. I feel the same way about Thane, so perhaps, in your next post, you could imply that i like to sit there, staring dreamily at his chest?

The poll was obviously loaded (in favour of option one). I'm more surprised that you can't see that than i am by how anybody wouldn't want to stare at Miranda's ass.

I guess I should give in and leave it at that...
just be at peace with the knowledge that you have 2 of those kind of clothes and be tolerant towards the "minority" who wants reasonable non-ridiculous armor...
